Grandmother`s sofa #15

While I am new to photography I always felt that sign of good art was to spark controversy and debate. This photo certainly fits that bill w/ the conversations back and forth, even the ones who dont like it have strong feelings about it. So dosnt that make it fit the description of art, stirring some form of emotion...

 

Just my 2 cents.

 

Really enjoy your work.

Hmmm... This photograph is proving to be very controversial, so a result there for you Igor.

 

Here's my humble opinion.

 

Yes, the image IS overtly sexual, but at the same time, is highly artistic.

 

Art is in the eye of the beholder. One man's art is another mans eye-sore.

 

Even if I didn't like the image, it would still be art. Photography should be questioning the boundaries of art (and, indeed, taste). This image delivers on both criteria. So I think you should be congratulated on this particular piece of work. Well done.

You have understood my philosophy to mix all in a photography. And legs can be spread, but it does not mean, that you can have her. She will have you!

If the ONLY thing this photo says is "fuck me," it is a valid and beatiful message. Sex isn't dirty or base. It is a part of our lives. If we're lucky, it is a BIG part. In this case, model, photo, and lighting are beautiful.

You are funny to the point of being rediculous. What a bunch of Nonsense! I would say that if you can't come up with more than a personal attack on a person or his country then one should not say a thing. I mean what else is a male going to think when he sees a female on a couch, legs spread wide open, leaning back and holding her head bracing for the impact. If you are into a sexual pose then so be it. If you want to call this an art form so be it. Just not my Idea of a museam piece thats all I am saying. " Bushism " new word for my vocabulary I guess.

Beautiful shot.

 

Beyond words.

LOL, Beautiful.......... I am sorry but i like it.

I am also in b&w with my 503 CW. I have just discovered the power in wide angle and the orange filter. Is that how You do the out-of-door studies? Or maybe You use the Photoshop instead?. The picture(s) are daring and extremely "effective"!

As this series of critique shows.

Fantastic!

I agree with Christopher ... I would move her a little to the left. But this is a powerful photo, textured backdrop included.
